Default Kury R-T-B and LEDs

I am planing to install the Kury RTB plug and play. I have a 2007 1800T which uses the PR21W bulbs in the rear turn signals. My question is, does anyone make a good red LED that is made to fit the 7507 light socket, which is standard in my rear turn signal housings ?

Or have those installing red LEDs in these rear turn signals been using 1156 style LEDs and grinding one knob off a bit to make it fit. Or do you need to change the rear turn signal sockets out to 1156 sockets?

I realize that one could hard wire the LEDs in and eliminate the sockets altogether. I would rather not do this, as I would rather maintain stock while under warranty.

I also understand that Kury makes a PR21W red single filament light which could be used. But understand that the LEDs would be brighter. Can anyone confirm the difference in the brightness between the Kury bulb and good quality LEDs. I realize that would be a very generalized comparison due to different LEDs, etc.

Thanks.

Thanks. Still looking for anyone that can give me a brightness comparison between the Kury red single filament bulb and decent red LEDs when used with the Kury RTB. I am wanting to install which ever gives the most brightness, and greatest visibility.

I run the RTB and use the Custom Dynamics red LEDs and they are really bright...brighter than the filament
